Gov. NcEnery, like some Of his organs,
seems to hold that the calling Of IL con-
stitutional convention in 1873 was con-
domination Of the Nichols adminiStra-
ton. Such is not the fact. S. d. McEucrv
and his friends in North Louisiana de-
feated the efforts Of McCTauie and 9TH
crs to call a convention and the scale
was turned in favor of a convention by
the influence of Howard's Lottery i'm
New Orleans and Southern Louisiana
During the administration of Nichols
the charter Of the lottery was repealed
and the act Of repeal was signed 10y the
Governor and Howard had to get Il re-
charter from the constitutional conycn-
ton. The lottery company had more to
do with abridging the term of Nichols
than all the bulId0Zers. Let the truth of
history be vindcated. What has been
done against the lottery monopoly dur
ing the reign Of McEncry?-Ouachlta

The Republicans Of this parish held
their ward elections last Saturday for
delegates to parish convention to be
held here to-day, the main business of
which will be to elect q new parish
committee, and probably delegates to
the next State convention. They are
divided into what are called ring, and
anti-ring Republicans. The latter &C.
cuse some Of the leaders of the other
faction Of selling their influence to
what are known here as the ring Dem
ocrats; and this seems to be the main
issue between the contending factions:
the ring are striving to maintain their
influence with the voters, so as to make
it pay; and their opponents are striving
to break it down, and place the party
more on footing of principle, and re-
lieve it from being mere bidder for
Doodle. The contest in this ward was
very lively. There were two polls, one
here and the other in Bellevue. Seven
teen delegates were elected in this ward.
Four hundred and some votes were
polled in town, giving the ring a ma
jority of about one hundred and thirty j;
but in Bellevue about one hundred and
ffty-two votes were polled-all for the
anti-ring, except one. This gave the an
ti-ring ticket majority of twenty-five
in the ward. This ticket was headed
by CAN'T Prescott, successful colored
farmer, noted for his industry and in
tegrity. 1t is related of him, that not
Dong since, in some political move in
his party, he was offered $500. in cash
and tract of land for his influence
which he promptly declined. 1t is sta.
ted that the anti-ring elected MAORI
ty of the delegates In the entire parish /:
and that all they fear is that the bood-
lers may aeduce some of them,

THE PARISH CONVENTION.

| The ward elections ordered by the
Democratic State sub committee, were
held last Monday, for a parish conven-
ton which assembled on Thursday
Out OF 125 delegates to have been elect
ed, l1S were present: Atchafalaya, Bar
rvs Landing and Beaver Creek, having
seven delegates, were the only places
not represented. This was the largest
and most representative convention
ever held in this parish, when there had
been no contests in the primaries. A
glance at the personnel of the convention
by any person with q general acquain-
lance in the parish, would satisfy him
instantly that the real Democracy was
in council.
c. J. Thompson, of Bayou Bn.uf, was
elected president, and Alfred Pavy and
j. j. Barry, of Grand Couteau, were sec
retaries.
The business of the convention was
limited to clecting a parish committee
which was done, to-wit: K. II. Littell,
member for the parish at large, chair
man J. p. Smith, J. n. Ogden, Sam
Haas, Eli Clark, Willis Prescott, Paulin

Senator J. B. Eustis now occupies his
seat in Congress through the votes of
two brlbed negro members Of the Leg
islature. He does not and cannot deny
this fact. Ex-senator B. F. Jonas was
charged with and does not deny having
consented to have the negroes-notori-
ously Republican-admtted to the
Democratic caucus and he was defeated
for a reelection. simply because Sena-
tor Eustis' friend put up more money
than he was ready to pay, and thereby
virtually purchased his seat. These are
facts which can be proved, and show to
what stage Democratic politics i'll Lou
isiana have come. The feeble attempt Of
the administration sheets to argue the
cause of either men by abuse of an out
spoken journal will not in any manner
disrrove the above assertion. Senator
Eustis, by his speech at Monroe last
week, stirred up the old stink, and the
organs of himself and friends should
not be 80 hasty to attempt to palliate bis

TIE FUR FLEW.

Returning from the colored funeral
Thursday evening no little excitement
was occasioned by a wool-pulling be
tween a quartette of benighted dam
sells. "Pigy" Tyler, who perhaps felt
her oats little with her fine buds on,
was, it seems, trying to walk over "Un-
Gle Dick" the Sunday school banner
man, when Louisa Butler demonstrated
and got her foot into it. Julia Abram,
who is said to be unclaimed lightning
also joined in the tisticuff, whereupon
Clara King entered the ring, and a
double ointed rumpus ensued. The
constable will probably make an early
call on these noted town characters.
